    Trump Derangement Syndrome manifests differently than Obama Derangement Syndrome, especially insofar as the mainstream media is a chief promulgator of TDS. But they arise from the same impulse: excessive, unhealthy levels of emotional fixation on the personage of the President

        Conservatives promoted every loopy theory under the sun about Obama; think WorldNetDaily (of which Trump was a reader). Main difference is that these theories originated in the fringes. Many of the big Trump Derangement theories have originated in the establishment / center-left

        Mainstream outlets also spent a lot of time debunking the loopier theories, such as the birth certificate stuff or the notion that Obama was the anti-christ. Conversely, in the current era these same outlets spend a lot of time validating and amplifying loopy anti-Trump theories

        Obama Derangement Syndrome made many believe conservatives were crazy during my 20s. Trump Derangement Syndrome has made many believe progressives are crazy during my 30s. A vicious cycle. Here’s hoping we can collectively move away from rank partisanship as I approach my 40s.

        McCarthyism promulgators/believers are NOT progressives. They are neoliberal centrists.

        But this is by design: through their ownership of the media, the ruling class has shaped America's very culture in such a way as to make it so, and prevent people focusing too much on substantive issues like policy etc.

        Both Obama and Trump represent key forks in the road in the evolution of American politics, after which things would never be the same again. In my opinion that has led to part of the animosity directed towards them and their respective administrations.

        I think Obama was there to break everyone. We had a lot of hope, but nothing changed.. Trump gets in, something improve, but the swamp gets nastier and is now letting us know law is for us only and we can't do anything about it.

        Yes, "emotional fixation" is the key. Never in my life have i seen so many intensely negatively invested in a personage that has little real effect on their daily lives. An inverse cargo cult.

        My ODS grew slowly with symptoms getting much worse during his 2nd term. The cause wasn’t fixation on his personage but rather listening to him speak and understanding that he couldn’t care less about me or my family.

        I don't think so. Not at all. Really don't like this syndrome argument. It's not complicated. The media are professional propagandists. Political leadership are corporite employees. They see Nineteen Eighty-Four as a manual. No more complicated than that.

        translation (from the land of understanding of the #ChimpParadox): journalists's chimps are good at corralling the chimps of everyone who was sickened at the 2016 election outcome. It's time for everyone to #ManageYourChimp and solve the problems we all have #GreenNuclearDeal

        By far I think the worst manifestation of TDS is Democrat's continuous attempts to sabotage Korean peace talks through criticism from the right. I.E. Trump giving away the farm. The South Korean people want peace with North Korea and don't care about your hatred of Trump.

        I’d much prefer not to think about the president, but he’s such an awful person with no allegiance to his oath or to proper execution of his office that I can’t just relax.
